Per offlist discussion with Andrzej Kozlowski, it is seen that
Mathematica is capable of detecting the numerical ill conditioning in
this problem when using arbitrary precision numbers. This can be
tested by appending the following replacements to the definition of
bracket:

/. x_Real?InexactNumberQ :> SetPrecision[x, 14]

/. x_Real?InexactNumberQ :> SetPrecision[x, 32]
